This is a traditional recipe from Italy taught to me by two elder Italian women
friends of mine many years ago, their son is my daughter's godfather. These biscotti were always served at their home after dinner and the home was filled with the aroma of the lemon/walnut biscottis esp. at Christmas time and in preparation for the huge crowd they served for the Italian Feast in Melrose Park. I prefer this biscotti over many others as it is light
flavorful and great with coffee and as Christmas gifts for friends.
Welcome family and friends! I decided to create this blog in hopes of displaying heirloom recipes and stories from both sides of my family to be handed down to my children and extend my findings and my own creations to my relatives and friends for years to come. I have hopes my extended family of cousins across the country can access this site and will contribute. I carry a certificate in Basics and Gourmet Cooking.
